AWESOME BLOSS’EMS

Plant a seed and grow your very own collectible doll with Awesome Bloss'ems.

Place the colorful seed into the pot and cover it with the sparkle soil. Make a wish and add about five leaf-spoons of water, then watch as your doll starts to sprout from the soil — the flower on her head will hint at which character is blooming.
